Introduction: There are different tests that assess attention and can help to make a differential diagnosis between ADHD and Learning Disabilities (LD), but there appears to be little research on the convergent and predictive validity of these tests. The aim of this study was to analyze the convergent validity of the EMAV, Caras, d2, AGL, CPT-II…

Abigail Howard-Gosse; Bradley W. Bergey; S. Hélène Deacon – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2024
Given the increase in students with learning disabilities entering university, we investigated a broader group--students with a history of reading difficulties (HRD)--who are known to be at risk of academic struggles. We identified the self-reported reading challenges and strategies of university students with HRD (n = 49) and those with no…

Wakeman, Holly N.; Wadsworth, Sally J.; Olson, Richard K.; DeFries, John C.; Pennington, Bruce F.; Willcutt, Erik G. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2023
This study investigated the relationship between mathematics difficulties and psychopathology in a large community sample (N = 881) of youth (8-18 years of age) in the United States. The primary aims of the study were to (a) test the associations between mathematics difficulties and specific components of internalizing, externalizing, attention,…

Ishimoto, Yuma; Yamane, Takahiro; Matsumoto, Yuki – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
A large number of children with developmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD), learning disabilities, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have high anxiety. It has also been shown that the high anxiety has harmful effects on them, directly and indirectly. In this study, we conducted a survey on community samples on the level…

Kim, Sohyun An; Kasari, Connie – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Working memory is an important component of executive functioning, an area of difficulty for many autistic children. However, executive functioning and working memory are highly malleable throughout childhood, and various student-level and environmental factors play important roles in their development. This study used the Early Childhood…

Many neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) share common learning and behavioural impairments, as well as features such as dysregulation of the oxytocin hormone. Here, we examined DNA methylation (DNAm) in the 1st intron of the oxytocin receptor gene, "OXTR," in patients with autism spectrum (ASD), attention deficit and hyperactivity (ADHD)…

Willoughby, David; Evans, Mary Ann – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2019
University students with a learning disability (LD) represent a growing fraction of the student population within North America. Although past research has focused on cognitive aspects of living with an LD and/or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), social-emotional factors have received less attention. Such factors may play an…

Peterson, Robin L.; Boada, Richard; McGrath, Lauren M.; Willcutt, Erik G.; Olson, Richard K.; Pennington, Bruce F. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2017
The current study tested a multiple-cognitive predictor model of word reading, math ability, and attention in a community-based sample of twins ages 8 to 16 years (N = 636). The objective was to identify cognitive predictors unique to each skill domain as well as cognitive predictors shared among skills that could help explain their overlap and…

Roberts, Garrett J.; Vaughn, Sharon; Roberts, Greg; Miciak, Jeremy – Remedial and Special Education, 2021
This study investigated the extent to which problem behaviors were factors associated with response to a year-long multicomponent reading intervention for fourth- and fifth-grade students with reading difficulties. Students scoring [less than or equal to]85 standard score on the "Test of Silent Reading Efficiency and Comprehension" (n =…

Lopes-Murphy, Solange A.; Murphy, Christopher G. – Mid-Western Educational Researcher, 2020
Fundamental to the hypothesis-driven approach to assessing the special-education (SPED) needs of English learners (ELs) is the awareness that behaviors often exhibited by ELs may mirror indicators of learning disabilities (e.g., difficulty comprehending text, difficulty following directions, lack of appropriate classroom behavior, lack of…

Oefinger, Lisa M.; Peverly, Stephen T. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
The note- and test-taking skills of typically functioning undergraduates are significantly and positively related to handwriting speed, listening comprehension, background knowledge and sustained attention. This study attempted to replicate these findings with two groups of high school students--those with and without the diagnosis of a learning…

Holzberg, Debra G.; Test, David W.; Rusher, Dana E. – Remedial and Special Education, 2019
For students with high-incidence disabilities, the transition from secondary to postsecondary educational settings poses the additional challenge of acquiring accommodations. Self-advocacy interventions have been identified as important skills for students with disabilities in accessing accommodations. The purpose of this study was to examine the…

Casas, Ana Miranda; Ferrer, Manuel Soriano; Fortea, Inmaculada Baixauli – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2013
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is frequently associated with learning disabilities. The present study examined the written composition of children with ADHD, which depends to a large degree on continuous self-regulation and attentional control skills for organizing information and maintaining the level of effort. Fifty children…

Stanford, Emily; Delage, Hélène – First Language, 2020
Working memory (WM) limitations are frequently reported for children with specific learning disorder (SLD). However, WM capacity influences more than literacy and numeracy, as research highlights the contribution of WM to language development, in particular syntax. In this article, the authors study the effect of syntactic intervention, i.e.…
